[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5131962, member: 73489"]But if online SPURS people to get into coin collecting -- or strengthens their bonds to the hobby -- you will also get people more likely to go to conventions like FUN. [B]That is what happened with me. :D[/B] The CASUAL buyer probably won't go to the big national or even regional shows...maybe not even a local show with free admission. But the SERIOUS collector will probably at least test-drive a regional or big national show. I do believe the Big National and Regional shows can do a better job of promoting their shows and highlighting the benefits: [B][I]coin collecting courses...meeting your internet friends in-person....high-end auctions...tons of new dealers you'd never meet online or in-person....vacationing and meals in the area....etc. [/I][/B] I had a blast at my 1st FUN earlier this year and it's a good save-the-date item to make sure I can attend in the future and spend some $$$. :D[/QUOTE]
